Leaderly Quote: The tasks you let go of…

“Shoulds” are tasks or obligations we take on, accompanied by an inner monologue that goes, “I should be doing this.”

But the thought of completing these tasks brings no joy. So we do them resentfully or avoid them altogether. As the shoulds pile up, so does the burden of guilt.

You’re dealing with responsibilities, fears, and hardships that were scarcely imaginable in a pre-COVID-19 world. If there was ever a time to be more forgiving of yourself and let go of some shoulds this is it.

As a friend once told me, “It’s time to stop ‘shoulding’ all over yourself!”

Unsubscribe from the idea that you should be doing more. Don’t just write another to-do list. Write a “not-to-do” list: an inventory of shoulds you’re giving yourself permission not to have to do, worry about, or feel guilty for dropping—for the week, for the duration of the pandemic, or possibly even forever.

Starting TODAY, the tasks you let go of—both at work and at home—can define you even more as a leader than the tasks you hold on to.

At Be Leaderly, our mission is a simple one: To provide proven career strategies that help you lead, climb, and thrive as a rising woman of influence. If you’re ready to lead, we’re here to support and inspire you.
